Amara's POV :
Jessica was already back at the table when I walked out, sitting too close to Roman with her hand on his shoulder while she laughed at something Adrian said like nothing had happened, like she hadn't just tried to tear me apart in the bathroom.
I walked over and didn't sit down.
Roman looked up at me. "You okay?"
"Perfect." I leaned down and put my hand on his other shoulder, letting my fingers curl into the fabric of his jacket. "Sorry I took so long."
Then I kissed his cheek right there in front of everyone.
His skin was warm under my lips and he smelled like cologne and wine and I felt him go completely still beneath me. When I pulled back his eyes met mine, dark and surprised and something else I couldn't name.
I sat down and immediately put my hand on his arm while leaning into his side like I belonged there.
"What were we talking about?" I asked and my voice came out light and easy.
